Soundcard isn't working properly

[syst3m]

Can anybody here give me a pointer for how do i make Cirrus Logic - Crystal CS4281 soundcard on FC1?

Kudzu did recognized it and installed it automatically (like everything was in place and ready to go), but sound isn't coming out.

I checked the ALSA site for tutorials but i got no success in installing it.

I'm running Fedora Core 1 (just installed).

Thanks in advance.

I forgot to say that

• It works okay if logged in as 'root'
• Just "acts" as being okay (sound doesn't come out) if logged in as normal user

Thanks again

alright
the problem sounds like permissions
test this out as root:

chmod a+rw /dev/dsp /dev/mixer /dev/sequencer /dev/midi

[syst3m]

I did it but it didn't work. I tried to use chmod a+rw /dev/dsp /dev/mixer /dev/sequencer, but the problem is still not solved.

Here are the outputs:

# chmod a+rw /dev/dsp /dev/mixer /dev/sequencer /dev/midi
chmod: falha ao obter atributos de `/dev/midi': Arquivo ou diretório não encontrado
# chmod a+rw /dev/dsp /dev/mixer /dev/sequencer
#

[i'm using PT-BR language... so i'll try to translate it]

# chmod a+rw /dev/dsp /dev/mixer /dev/sequencer /dev/midi
chmod: error in obtaining atributes for `/dev/midi': File or directory not found
# chmod a+rw /dev/dsp /dev/mixer /dev/sequencer
#

can you show the output of lsmod?

I used this:
http://freshrpms.net/docs/alsa/
to get this chipset working on my friend's computer

[foolish]

Which ALSA guide was that? Did you try mine: http://foolish.fedorausers.org/alsa/

Let us know just what failed in the ALSA installation, and I'll try to help.

[syst3m]

I don't exactly know what went wrong. Apparently it just didn't work.

But now everything is okay.
I reinstalled fedora and auto-conf just gave it a way somehow.
I think my older soundcards were conflicting with the new one.

Thanks
